You try as hard as you can to restrain the gnawing hunger that empowers your being. After much struggling, you win the battle and back away from the child and just in time it seems since many armoured guards with blowpipes are pouring out of the town to stop you.

You wait by the road for half an hour whilst the obsession for blood eats at you (lose 2 STAMINA). When it is safe, you morph into vampire (remember to lose 1 STAMINA) and enter the town of Blackhammer. Turn to 396.
